shades

When most people shop for sunglasses, they tend to focus mostly on the fashion qualities rather than the functional qualities.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying a pair of sunglasses that you find visually appealing or that look good on you. There are plenty of trendy sunglasses for women available on the market for you to buy.

But when it comes down to it, the primary reason for owning sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the brightness and UV rays of the sun, which is why your first concern must be how well your sunglasses can protect your eyes from the sun’s glare.

There are many different tints and colors available for the lens on sunglasses, and to help you along, we’ll discuss the five very best lens colors that you can get, presented in alphabetical order:

Blue

Blue lenses are currently very fashionable and can greatly enhance the look of your sunglasses. From a functional standpoint, they’re a solid choice as well. They can help to enhance your contour and color perception and keep glare down to a minimum. However, they are a poorer choice for snow or fog/mist, because they will block the glare from literally any white light.

Green

The primary benefit to green sunglasses is that they brighten shadow and dim glare at the same time, which is a very unique feature. They are also a solid choice for virtually any weather condition, regardless of whether the sun is out or it’s raining, and they transmit all colors on an even basis.

Gray

The most common color of lenses for sunglasses are gray, thanks to the excellent protection that they offer you from the ultraviolet rays. They are also easily the darkest color that they can get, but they still do a magnificent job in regard to color perception and keeping glare down. Most of the sunglasses available to buy will have a gray tint.

Red

A red colored lens will improve your contrast by blocking out blue light, which also helps to improve overall visual depth. It is for this reason that a red colored lens will be the most comfortable choice for you over the long term and will reduce pain from eyestrain, which simultaneously reduces the risk of getting a headache.

Yellow

Yellow colored lenses offer you the best way to focus your eyes because they also, like red lenses, filter out blue light. This does result in a little color distortion, but the trade off is that yellow lenses are definitely the best choice for dawn and dusk because they can allow you to see perfectly even when it’s dim or shady outside.

The Best Lens Colors For Sunglasses

The lenses of the sunglasses you choose can definitely change your perspective and how you literally view the environment around you. Don’t choose a lens color based on what your personal favorite color is, but rather based on what’s the most functional and the best choice for your area.
